Whistler Skateboar Association
and the Longhorn present to
you a Skateboard Rail jam
Contest/ Fundraiser.
On Thursday, September 28, 2006,
The Whistler Skateboard Association will be holding a fundraiser event
at the Longhorn Saloon in Whistler. We will be setting up scaffolding
on the patio and creating a street-style rail/ledge setup where skaters
will be able to perform tricks on the obstacles and down the stairs.
There will be two hours where the ramp is open for the public to have
fun on (5pm to 7pm), and then in the evening (7pm to 9pm) we will be
hosting a full-on competition where skaters will be competing for cash
and prizes. As well, there will be live music and other stuff going on
got anyone who comes to hang out and support the Whistler Skateboard
Association, a non-profit community driven group formed to help take
care of some of the many skateboard related issues in Whistler,
especially the underground skatepark in Creekside. After the
competition, there will be the video premiere of The Peanut Gallery, a
locally produced skateboard film, and then the party will continue all
night. This event will go on rain or shine, we have planned for tents
and coverings for the ramps and of course, everyone can hang out
inside, listen to live music and, of course, have a great
time.
We will be having three main
categories of first-place prizes, with a $200 cash prize given to the
skater who performs the best trick on the rail, on the ledges, and down
the set of stairs, each. In addition to the cash prizes, we will be
giving away lots of gear to the skaters for second and third places, as
well as give-aways.. As well, there will be tons of shwag give-aways
for the crowd, as well as raffles for some higher ticket items such as
complete skateboards from the local shops.
Some of the supporters of this
event are Longhorn Saloon, UnderExposed Media Group, Nomis Clothing,
Westbeach the shop, Evolution, Katmandu, Red Bull, Gauge Clothing,
SkateboardVillage.com and Ogio Bags.
